Value

Returns an invisible NULL when argument to.clipboard is set to TRUE. Returns an Open MODPlug Tracker flavoured pattern table as a vector of characters when it is set to FALSE.

Arguments

x

Either a PTPattern object or a PTBlock object from which an Open MODPlug Tracker pattern should be created.

Examples

## get some pattern data

pattern <- PTPattern(mod.intro, 1)

## Now create a MODPlug pattern from this.
## The result is placed on the system clipboard.
## You can check by pasting it into a text
## editor, or better yet, the MODPlug Tracker.

if (.Platform$OS.type == "windows") {
  PTPatternToMODPlug(pattern)
}

## If you want to handle the pattern data
## in R:

patModPlug <- PTPatternToMODPlug(pattern, FALSE)

## We can do the same with a block:

block <- PTBlock(pattern, 1:10, 2:3)
PTPatternToMODPlug(block, FALSE)
